Decommissioning

Offshore decommissioning involves safely and environmentally friendly removing piles from the seabed once their operational life is over. This process ensures regulatory compliance, restores marine environments, and addresses the growing need for sustainable approaches in managing aging offshore infrastructure. It also allows the seabed to be reused for future offshore projects, like new wind farms.

Decommissioning with Vibratory Hammers offers an efficient, environmentally friendly solution for removing offshore structures. Thanks to the design of the Vibratoty Hammers and our wide range of hydraulic clamps, a broad variety of pipe types can be removed easily. Vibration technology allows pipes and foundations to be removed safely and effectively in a controlled manner, minimizing environmental impact and reducing costs. This makes it ideal for complex underwater projects.

Benefits of vibration technology in decommissioning

Short working time due to high centrifugal force
Low noise level
Minimal residual damage to piles
Safe
Works for many different pile sizes and types

Circularity

Our decommissioning efforts are part of our circularity pillar. We believe that we are responsible for our projects and continue to be responsible for the products and impacts even after we’re done. That’s why we also try to be part of cleanup efforts once a project is finished or the piles can no longer be used; this way we reduce our impact on the environment and close the loop from installation to dismantling.
